The WHITE RAPPER In Hip Hop ~ What Happened To ASHER ROTH? Stunted Growth Music

[@stuntedgrowthmusic]

Will there ever be a WHITE rapper more successful than Eminem? Was Asher Roth too much like Em?

[@sphynxeastwood]

Nah

[@unknwngamer1]

Every white rapper that rhymes they will always say "sounds too much like eminem"

[@Cicero82]

In the mainstream: probably not In the underground: PLENTY! Brother Ali, Evidence, R.A. The Rugged Man, Vinnie Paz, Eyedea(R.I.P.), Slug… so many doing it.

[@Cicero82]

Also, Lil Dicky’s going through a similar trajectory.

[@deezihogan8675]

He had his own lane of shit to rhyme about but it wasn't received for too long because we never let another Caucasian rapper in but that album was still dope

[@unknwngamer1]

I was the biggest asher roth fan when he came out. The greenhouse effect mixtape with dj drama was crazy 🔥

[@SonnyScapes]

Seriously! For some reason I think the sun god free is the most random sickest flow. Haha

[@mate7611]

I’m still a fan of Asher Roth since the early days. He came to Paris to perform in 2016 and I rapped lark on my go kart with him on stage the audience went crazy and I even stage dived. One of the most cherished moments in my life. Thank you Asher.

[@ViewtifulJae]

Asher deserves more love and respect. He’s a great rapper . Legit lyricist and he doesn’t do anything to be like Eminem whatsoever . It’s unfortunate how ppl form opinions based off of headlines or other ppls reactions or opinions.

[@RS.831]

well said

[@stuntedgrowthmusic]

Makes great music

[@tyh.rodriguez7300]

Yeah he was dope

[@kjnewman7518]

Lmfao I liked Asher Roth to but his entire persona was influenced by Eminem. He even had a song called as I em.

[@jtr5336]

His freestyles on the A Milli and Cannon beat were legendary.

just came from an asher concert this weekend. kid still got it

[@fruitkid4759]

still bumpin him since his kid cudi and asher roth freestyle

[@Meetwad]

Will be going to one next week.

[@fruitkid4759]

@@Meetwad jelly! his raps cleaner than my oven when I’m eating only raw foods

[@MrSFblack]

Asher Roth had flow but let's face it, he was only ever going to appeal to a certain demographic.

[@jblack5323]

Was going to say exactly the same thing. To sell well in rap you have to appeal to the 11-17 year old bracket just as Eminem did. I’m sure he had some older male fans but woman at this time were more interested in commercial dance stuff like Cascada and Black Eyed peas.

[@TheStefanp10]

I still listen to Asher to this day actually on the email list and get alerts when he drops lol but Pabst and jazz will always be a classic mixtape

[@charlesb.7609]

His song with B.O.B. says they’re gonna make a lot of money then quit this crazy scene. Well, they predicted it.

[@chreed5837]

I was a freshman in high school when Asher came out and I remember being a party and my ex gf was drunk yelling "play some asher roth". From there I was like alright I gotta listen to dude if he has drunk chicks asking to play him during parties. Asleep in the bread aisle was a very solid album, ironically I was listening to it the other day.

[@ignorantenlightenment]

His newer stuff is actually really good, his Flowers on the Weekend album from 2020 STILL gets spins

[@ErzulShadowmoon]

And greenhouse effect 2 quite recently droped with a dope concept

[@gargeluy3035]

@@ErzulShadowmoon *3

[@42killac]

Asleep on the bread aisle is still played on playlist today that album was a classic s/o AR

[@dmaster5556]

I had only known Asher from I Love College until around 2015 when my best friend showed me pretty much everything else he'd been doing up to that point. I really like Pabst & Jazz and his Greenhouse Effect mixtapes

[@popsthefather9447]

His verse on consequence's childish games was a highlight.. Didn't even like bul but he killed that.

[@UptownKash]

💯💯

[@jensendenoyes2470]

As a white rapper, you can tell he was under a lot of pressure.

[@maxsereda4158]

His Cannon freestyle is Legendary.

[@REIDSRAPS]

My greatest Day has arrived!!! thank you bro!!! you listen to the people ive been requesting this for a year!!! Salute!!! #pwe #reidsraps

[@jawells2010]

His verse on the All City Chess Club’s “I’m Beaming” remix

[@EJxSB]

Great video. I love making a video on somebody's disappearance from the spotlight without hammering in DOWNFALL OF THIS CLOWN type of energy most dudes have in their videos.

[@controversialmann5345]

Relapse is Eminems most artistic body of work def a classic if u ask me. Not everyones cup of tea but its a unique album that goes under appreciated.

[@javonbatiste5984]

Relapse is not a damn classic no it is not... MMLP is a classic.. Slim Shady LP is a classic... Those are classics... Yall gotta stop calling everything classics bruh.. Relapse not a bad album but too stamp classic on it??? No

[@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc]

Yeah you bugging.

[@UptownKash]

It has some of Dr Dre's best production as well

[@andrewilliams6866]

Be by myself w/Ceelo is classic

[@seanmichael8744]

It's hard to say he fell OFF when he was hardly ON to begin with lol

[@sphynxeastwood]

Do audio push

[@304Dolo]

Asher Roth is so underrated

[@Dave-mu3xv]

Asleep in the bread isle. Still a better album than most albums these days.

[@KetylKornDawg]

Asher is pretty dope. I listen to his stuff here and there especially his mixtapes. I was really happy when he dropped that album in 2020. It’s been a minute since he released music

[@flygenyus2186]

he dropped an album last September

[@KetylKornDawg]

@@flygenyus2186 No fucking way! How did I miss that?! And he did Vol. 3 without DJ Drama and Cannon? Wow! Thanks man!

[@Historicutuber]

Dude could spit man

[@Yay4Yay]

Bruh he has a mixtape I love called seared foie gras that I absolutely love

[@cosmicbrownie333]

Seen him open for N*E*R*D some years ago and definitely kept the crowd's attention. New Jeeps w/Dom Kennedy is still in heavy rotation on the playlist

[@Chris4ourth]

Still bumping Asher's music, I'm glad he still making good projects AITBI, the French mixtape (I don't think no one can pronounce lol), Greenhouse effect mixtapes, Flowers On the weekend, Pabst and Jazz, Rawther EP and Retrohash. I respect that he's independent and staying in his own lane, always respected his style and message in his music. It may not have the buzz as it did in his earlier career but I'm glad he still around focusing on Quality rather than quantity.

[@jawells2010]

I saw him on his big tour for asleep in the bread aisle with Kid Cudi and B.o.B as supporting acts in 2009 in Denver. Great times

[@JohnnytheTechnician]

Do Chino XL

[@travisramirez7143]

Yessir

[@96GEM]

Asher Roth was way doper than that I Love College song would suggest, he made real introspective hip hop songs, I honestly think he got overshadowed by Mac Miller, the only Frat rap guy that ever lasted in rap, it’s also crazy they come from the same state and dropped around the same time

[@matthewmann8969]

So far Eminem And Yelawolf are some of the most skilled peeps in general in rhyming yeah

[@cenergy27]

Saw him long ago at Paid Dues. Didn’t know much about him but I was happily surprised. He had his own lane and never though of Em.

[@ReedMySole]

Asleep in the bread aisle was a classic.

[@TheeOnyxScholar]

I love college was my favorite song (granted, I was in 8th grade when it came out)

[@KristianGibran]

Glad you did this video, highkey thought of dude last week like where the hell did he go?

[@JordanWilliams-ix2td]

We have the same damn Birthday August 11........What the actual fuck... I did not know that Wow!! So From here on out we will be turning up together in spirit every year on our Birthday lol Never really got into his music but how can I not support now? & he seems genuine & chill. I'll Def check his music out ❤ #AUGUST11GANG!

[@ScottFree-GB]

It's mad that White people in rap go through what Black people goes through in society

[@dannyl-p1543]

Asher Roth is one of my favorite artists, still to this day releases great and beautiful music

[@808sirenz9]

In The Kitchen with Chuck Inglish is flames

[@Fillup82]

He’s matured a ton, his newer stuff is actually pretty nice.

[@MrTekKnowledge]

Asher Roth peaked while he was on the mixtape circuit in the mid 2000s. He's more of an underground rapper, or even someone who belonged in the early 2000s punchline era, where there wasn't enough room for another mainstream white rapper. There was em, then bubba, then Asher on the mixtape circuit, DZK and others on the underground Internet circuit, and that was about it. 8:30 , oh holy hell you said it 😂😂

[@Motle009]

When I look at his career and his debut album came out 10 years after Eminem’s I feel you are correct on the one part he waited too long to put out a second album. Eminem released his second album a year later and knocked it out the park. That’s one thing I said after he released the first album he should get that next album no more than a year and half after the first one. Especially to keep his name out there. I know he put out some songs and they kept teasing with the second album but it never happened at that time and I guess he ended up leaving Universal. Other thing is he had the same manager as Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande who Scooter Braun, but I feel Scooter didn’t have as much influence as he does now remember this was pre-Bieber. The other thing too is all though I Love College worked for him as a single I think it also put him in a box where people thought of him as a party college boy rapper and people overlooked his other music. Even I remember Mac Miller mentioning it in an interview. Still to each their own not everyone wants that type of success and fame maybe felt more comfortable being independent and is happier in that route and much success to him.

[@DS-nq1dg]

I put NO value on what's popular in music these days. You can become an Instagram/SoundCloud/TikTok star pretty much instantly with the right image and or gimmick. Hip hop is about lyrics, flow, creativity. Rap is about being commercial. Lil Dicky should write Asher a check. Props go where props are deserved and Asher gets props from me.

[@B3hoopz]

Asher Roth song dope shit was hard I was at Venice beach when he filmed it

[@DeusLightning]

I was always a fan of Roth. He always had interesting lines and bars. "If Dubious had a boy, with Brad Pitt nad Troy then out from the loins I'd be born. If Jason Bourne was to record and join forces with Zack Morris they'd for my performance.* Even his mistake with Nottz Raw was great classic mixtape in my opinion. A lot of people slept on Asher and he was always underrated.

[@dominiquep9193]

Do Jody Breeze next

[@MichaelMaurblood]

Wow! I forgot about him. I was a fan of him when I was in high school.

His latest projects are pretty good.

[@kingmajima6839]

Omg finally some else remember him

[@TheHitmanCoz]

The only time I've ever heard of him was on Wild n Out

[@ThaKeeMan]

RetroHash would have been Asher's best body of work. He had the perfect amount of rapping and singing, grabbed some big name features and changed his appearance/aesthetic to match the theme. That album was his second wind but there were more exciting things happening in 2014 unfortunately.

[@ThaKeeMan]

Flowers On The Weekend was his most mainstream sounding album it has its pros and cons. He kinda went beyond his strengths for that.

[@ThaKeeMan]

& not to mention he was part of the best XXL Freshman Class alongside Kid Cudi, B.o.B, Curren$y, Wale & Charles Hamilton. he definitely deserves credit when we're talking about popular white rappers from PA we gotta mention Asher, Mac Miller & Lil Dicky.

[@sonoisrael4660]

Kool Herc didn't invent HipHop nor did "Brown" people black Americans have been rapping since the 40's we just created all other forms of music you see today.

[@martinrivera851]

Never though Asher sounded like em he always had his own sound

[@jpeg7750]

What's the name of this beat? Producer?

[@aaronprince5737]

I'll be honest until this video I never knew who did that song

[@kjnewman7518]

There is and always will be one Eminem. No matter how much he influences there will never be a more phenomenal rapper ever in our lifetime. I think he was the last all around great lyricist. Drake Wayne ECT are coo but they can't match em bar for bar like the two In my opinion did. And that is tech9 and Busta rhymes. Maybe black thought also on mtbmb.

[@badactorsacademy2312]

Roth's 2nd album was fire... just didn't have the big label push

[@tyh.rodriguez7300]

Wasn’t he with big Sean and wale b4 they blew up

[@truthsauce]

He totally was even if people don't want to admit it haha. Simple as this, if due was nearly as good as folks think, the who comparisons to eminem wouldn't have mattered because his skills would have carried him. I followed him heavly when he came out but toatlly knew he wasn't going anywhere. He was a kid with probably a big family last name seeing he was in Harvard I believe? Whitch alone will draw attention...he was a soft let down, easy to read....tried being eminem to much
